Lens issue A black screen comes up with the word access. The lens seems like it is trying to fix itself but is jammed. After a few tries the screen says: Turn the power off and on again. I have done that and tried removing the battery for a period of time and recharging it but nothing seems to have an effect. Thank you in advance for your help.

Lens restart error on my Canon Powershot A460. Lens has come out and shutter cannot be closed, inspite of battery & card being removed from it. How ever many times I tried switching ON/OFF button after loading my recharged(may be partially charged) battery, it's not showing signs of recovery. Just one beep sound , a blue screen written Canon & a black screen written "Lens Restart error" comes alternatively according to the pressing of ON/OFF button.In this alternative cycle, for one cycle, a gre

When i turn on my camera the lens trys to come out but then it gets stuck and goes back in; the screen says "turn the power off and on again" but when i do the same thing keeps happening over and over. The camera has one big rechargable battery so i can't just replace it. I've tried doing the reset, and I've tried tapping around the lens ad hitting the sides or bottom of the camera but nothing has worked.

Hello, I have a Kodak EasyShare z740 camera, and a couple of days ago I was using it and it was fine. I tried to turn it back on today, and the light on the dial is orange, not green. The lens comes out, but then the camera turns off. I tried new batteries, I tried rechargeable and regular, and I have no idea whats wrong! Please help!

Camera will not turn on
my nikon coolpix s51 will not turn on fully. the green power light shows on but then it goes off after a few seconds. i have not tampered with the card but i know the battery is fully charged - tried twice recharging it. the lsd screen does not come on at all, nor does the shutter lens open at all. it is not responsive to anything at all, except a green light coming on the 'on' switch but then going off again... any ideas?

Polaroid i733 7.0 digital camera won't work. I usually use digital rechargeable batteries, but have also tried duracell ultra and energizer lithium batteries. The camera will sometimes turn on and the lens will come out, but that's it. Nothing will display on the screen, it just stays black. I can't even get the lens to go back in. The camera is only about 3 months old. Help! Sharon

You've likely jammed the zoom motor in the lens. You're correct in thinking that the camera can't work without the lens out. With it being physical damage repairs wouldn't be covered under warranty so you either need to pay to have it repaired (if th ...

Focus I have had my camera for a year now and loved it but for some reason it will not focus anymore. I have went through the manual and tried everything it has to offer. I recharged my batteries and it still doesn't work. I cleaned my lens and I toggled the focus and still nothing. It all comes up very fuzzy. Help! I don't want to buy a new camera!

Lens trouble My lens will not come out entirely on my camera, for when I push the button to turn it on, the lens tries to completaly come out but then quickly retracts back halfway and remains stuck about halfway open. The screen is black and the light flashes red everytime I turn on the camera, along with a noise of something stuck. I have tried using that little button that someone told me was the reset button, along with plugging it in, and charging it. None of this has helped me with fixing

Hi,\015\012Unfortunately it sounds like the camera is beyond repair. When a camera's dropped like that there's a 50/50 chance that a mechanism in the lens has been broken and it's repairable. From the sounds of yours though, the fact that it won't co ...

I am able to transfer images to my computer, but when I try to turn the M893 camera on when it's not connected to my laptop, the screen comes on for a second or two, lens comes out, green light is on and then blinks and turns red and blinks and then lens goes back in and camera turns off. I've tried removing the battery, wiping it off, putting it back in, camera also wont charge. It's never gotten wet or been exposed to extreme heat

My kodak m763 quit working and i was wondering if i took it apart if i could fix it ...it may have gotten too damp in the rain, but the next day it turned on fine for viewing, then the lens would not extend out all the way out or go back in and it would turn itself off. We tried to help the lens come out, but wouldn't work and then tried to help it go back in and now its stuck and won't even try. Can i take it apart (with the right tools)...already tried everything and know i need a torx tool. d

Lens Error I purchased a Nikon P90 a month ago; and it was working just fine. A couple of days ago during a photo shoot (after taking 190+ photos without any trouble), the camera went crazy.. It shows a lens error when turned on; asks to 'remove the lens cap' even if it is already removed. The lens starts to zoom out & in for a couple of times; then this error message comes up and just hangs. Tried removing the card, battery and even tried re-charging the cell. I purchased it from UK, and I'm n

I can only turn on my Cybershot DSC-N2 while the camera is in playback mode. I can look at the pictures and videos and change settings with no problem.. but when I try to switch to camera or video record mode the camera turns off by itself.
Sometimes the lens will come out and then the camera powers down with the lens stuck out. Other times it just shuts off before the lens even has a chance to come out.
The camera has never been dropped or damaged.

First press power button for 15 seconds .Then remove memory card from it may be your memory card has some issue.also press reeset button on camera some camera has reset button.start your camera without memory card. ...

Was taking pics last night at Disney World, went to put camera away & the lens would not go back in. Tried putting fresh batteries in and still nothing. Today tried again & camera comes on saying Lens Error! It's making a noise like it's trying to go in but nothing. Also nothing else working on camera either. Any suggestions please.

Get a can of compressed air, attach the included straw, aim it at the crevice where the body and lens housing meet. Now give it two or three good blasts and power the camera at the same time to see if the lens retracts, if not! take the ...

When I tried to turn it off the lens did not retract fully, and the screen is still blank. I have tried removing and recharging the battery, but it makes no difference. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hp945lens When I fix a wide angle lens to my camera and switch it on, the zoom tries to come out, fails and then turns the camera off. I'm assuming that because the screw-on lens is on the outer fixed lens this is stopping the zoom from coming out which then turns the camera off. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Do you use a lens tube? You need one of these so the lens does not hit the screw on lens when it extends. Quite cheap on ebay etc. Standard 55mm thread.Hope this helpsjbrevealsall ...
